Practical Life in the Red Mansion

Jia Min's efficiency was very high. On the second day after returning home, he ordered someone to open the storeroom and sweep the yard, found some calligraphy and paintings as a gift to Mr. Lin Yang, and found a set of good four treasures of the study for Lin Yang. The inkstone is an old pottery inkstone used by the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Carving Forest in the previous dynasty. Lin Yang has been wearing it for several years, and he is not a rookie who does not know the value of things. The ink does not reduce the rocks under the Duanxi River. However, the stone is at the bottom of the deep water of the big river. It is not caused by manpower, and it is a priceless treasure." This is the Tao inkstone.

Lin Yang was careful every time he used it, for fear of breaking it. Later, he couldn't help but tell Jia Min that he wanted to put it away. Every time he used this baby, he was very nervous and under too much psychological pressure. Lin Yang complained in his heart. with.Who knew but was scolded by Jia Min: "Things are for people to use, and this inkstone is for grinding ink, so why just leave it for nothing just because it is an ancient thing, the more things are used, the more spiritual they become."

Only then did Lin Yang understand that both Lin Hai and Jia Min are the kind of people who are not concerned about foreign things. For them, good antique treasures are just ordinary daily necessities. The difference between the nouveau riche is that the nouveau riche get good things and always place them high and offer them up, while the aristocrats of the aristocratic family can use them as they want.

Lin Yang sighed, put down the pen in his hand and put it on the pen holder, resting his chin in his hand, and the servant of Wu Hong's family, that is, Chunfeng next to Jia Min, took a step forward and said to Lin Yang: "Madam said, I have to write today. Ten big characters are enough to rest."

Lin Yang waved his hand, "I know. My hand hurts from writing, take a break."

Wu Hong's family didn't talk, but stood aside with their heads bowed.Lin Yang is very smart, but because he is too smart, he learns things too quickly, so he doesn't take it seriously and doesn't learn things solidly. Therefore, Lin Hai and Jia Min have very strict requirements on Lin Yang, and stipulate how many times Lin Yang must recite the book every day. , how many sheets must be written, and told those who serve Lin Yang not to spoil him, and must supervise Lin Yang to complete the task on time.Fortunately, Lin Yang is more mature and self-controlled than other children, so they don't need to watch him, but Lin Yang has a problem of being distracted, and they need to be reminded.

Lin Yang finished writing his handwriting slowly, and when the handwriting was dry, he put away the paper so that Lin Hai could check it, and put away the things on the desk. Lin Yang had some obsessive-compulsive disorder for the things in his study, so he had to arrange them with his own hands. Just put it neatly, and no one is allowed to touch it.When Jia Min knew it, she was just letting Lin Yang go. The Lin family naturally had no shortage of servants, but she didn't want to train Lin Yang into a rich man who could make clothes and eat with his hands. To wear down a person's will, therefore, she is happy to watch Lin Yang do it by himself when it comes to some small things, such as dressing and tidying up the study utensils.

After Lin Yang had done everything, Wu Hong's family signaled the maids to come in, clean Lin Yang's hands, serve tea and refreshments.Only then did Lin Yang lean on the Arhat's bed, enjoying the service of the maids comfortably.Lin Yang thought about the coming husband, and felt yearning in his heart. Lin Hai is an orthodox Confucian student, who learned the six arts of a gentleman and is knowledgeable. Naturally, he didn't want his son to be a nerd who only knew stereotyped poetry. Although Lin Yang had a good family background in his previous life , but he still puts his energy into learning, so he is very happy to have the opportunity to learn various skills in this life, but he still doesn't know at this time that talent is something that can be encountered but not sought. For him, such skills are just mastered by the nine orifices.

The days passed quickly, and Lin Yang's husband came very quickly. Lin Yang secretly calculated that this unknown master came by boat, and Lin Hai took the job by land. The two of them separated almost at the same time. They are from Beijing. Thinking about it, the two have a very good personal relationship, or they have known each other for a long time.Judging from Lin Hai's attitude, Lin Hai attaches great importance to this master, and arranges the butler to wait at the pier every day. When he knows that he will arrive today, Lin Hai asked for leave and specially waited at home.When the boy informed him, the gentleman had already arrived at the pier, and even led Lin Yang to wait at the gate.

Taking advantage of Lin Hai's inattention, Lin Yang covered his sleeves and yawned. He was woken up by Lin Hai early in the morning. He didn't have enough sleep, and it was time for lunch break. Lin Yang was even more drowsy. Seven, nodded Lin Yang's back from behind: "Master, wake up, sir."

Lin Yang woke up with a jolt, and saw Lin Hai frowning staring at him, and smiled embarrassedly.Lin Hai looked at Lin Yang's big smiling face, and swallowed his reprimand.

Not long after, I saw the Lin family's carriage with a blue veil driving over, followed by several luggage carts, led by Lin Steward into the corner gate, where the luggage was placed, but the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and Lin Hai took it with him. Lin Yang went up to meet him.Fingers as white as jade lifted the curtain of the car. The man was about 30 years old, the same age as Lin Hai, wearing a light blue silk gown with a dark green belt, a white jade crown to tie his hair, and a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes revealing The joy of reuniting old friends, when seeing Lin Hai, the one point smile turned into one point.

"Brother Ruhai, I left at the pier that day, but I came here in a hurry. I didn't miss a day. Bring my little apprentice here. If he is stupid, I won't teach him." The tone was extremely Familiar, said the man, jumping out of the carriage.Lin Yang stared slightly at the man's unruly behavior.

"Brother Ziqi, stay safe, this is a dog." Lin Hai turned a blind eye to the man's behavior.

Only then did the man realize that a jade ball that had just reached his knee was standing aside, looking at him eagerly, his big eyes were watery from several yawns.The man bent down and couldn't help pinching the bulging bun face with baby fat, "This is my little apprentice, Brother Yang, he is as cute as a bun."

Hearing the man's compliment, Lin Yang felt embarrassed, as cute as a bun, what a metaphor.

Before Lin Yang could reply, the man took off a suet jade pendant from He Qinghaiyan that he had brought, and stuffed it into Lin Yang's hand: "A gift for meeting you."

Seeing Lin Hai nodding his head, Lin Yang hurriedly accepted the salute: "Thank you, sir."

The man waved his hand: "There is no need to be so formal between you and me." Then he stood up and patted Lin Hai on the shoulder: "Your father and I were young, and you are like my nephew, right, Brother Ru Hai? "

Lin Yang saw his always prudent father raised his eyebrows in a very unsteady way: "Brother Ziqi, what you said is true, but etiquette cannot be discarded."

The man curled his lips: "When I was young, I was a little old-fashioned, but when I got old, I became old-fashioned again."

Lin Yang saw the veins on his father's forehead twitch a few times, and took a few deep breaths: "Brother Ziqi, let's go inside and rest first."

"Well, you are more stable than when you were a child. Whenever you mentioned you when you were a child, you jumped in anger and wanted to hit me, but you couldn't beat me. Every time you suffered a disadvantage, you went to find..." Then He was very excited at first, but suddenly remembered something, his tone dropped, and his smile disappeared.

Lin Hai patted the head of Lin Yang, who was watching them, and said, "How can you be unsteady after going through so many things?"

The atmosphere was a little depressed, and the man changed the topic when he saw this: "I've been gossiping by the door for so long, why don't you let me in quickly, and I don't know that the courtyard I live in is well cleaned up, if it's not good, I won't follow. "

Lin Haibin led the man into the mansion, and said as he walked, "Don't worry, it's the courtyard that my wife brought someone to tidy up."

The man let out a groan in surprise, with a mocking face: "It turned out that the fourth younger sister took care of it, so I can rest assured."

When Lin Hai heard him talking about the fourth sister, he couldn't help punching him, his ears turned red, and said, "It's just a matter of youth, so it's worth making fun of it every time."

"I don't dare to joke, I just envy you and your wife's deep love." The man raised his palm to block Lin Hai's punch.

Lin Yang, who was following behind, complained in his heart that his husband and his father had a good chat, but who would tell him what is his husband's last name?
